The following is an extract from the
speech Of Hon. John L. Thompson At
Cumberland, last Friday:
Thirty years ago | went to Baltimore,
and know something Of politics; know
some OF the gentlemen Mr.. Miller and Mr..
McComHs have been talking about. |
know Fritz Bucheimer, the vice.president,
| with the indictments against him. By
the WY. F1it2 gave al excursion to the
regulars last Sunday on his steam b oat; he
hae bar.room on tho boat. Laughter.
Don't take me for that other John l.,
Thomas. (Great cheersl The other iel.

John Ii; both are sometimes called hon.

our party; they can got it by setting up on
their own hook. Three hundred yoices

city Of Chicago.
He stopped OF a town in Iowa, at thu,

WITH YOUR MORNING COFFEE.

When old &ohn Jacob Astor came 10
this country he bought a handful of
flutes, which he sold, and with the pro-
cee3s laid the foundation of the great
Astor fortune that has already with
stood the wasting influence of three
generations. A few days ago. Mr.. Launt
Thompson, in eulogizing Mr.. William
! w. Aston, old MIR. John Jacobs great
grandson, and describing his many
acc mplishments, naively said that he
inherited his musical talent from his
grest grandfather, who, when he came
to this country, brought out cargo of
musical instruments. Such are the
improving, embellishing and refining
| effects of the years, Surely there was
rnver so accomplished an artist as Old
r her Time.
A Vienna tailor says the Reichenber-
ger Zeitung wagered recently that it took
more than 10000 stitches to make a
winter overcost. To decide the question
coat was ordered, and a committee of
experts sat to superintend the WORK, as
We'll as to see that no unnecessary
stitches were made. The result was
announced IS follows: Body of the
coat, 4,760 stitches; collar, ,063; sewing
collar on, l 1853; button holes. 2520;
sleeves with lining, $50; pockets 94 silk
| ming of body, with wadded interior,
Il 1853; braiding, 2,726. Total, 1858
Stitches.
A Brooklyn carpenter says, Trades
unions are an uumitigated nuisances. |
have been a caIpe ter and buiuer in
Brooklyn for forty-fiye years; have
worked from Fulton Ferry to East New
York, and hundreds on hundreds of the
finest buildings in the city have in them
to day fnishings which these rough
hands made, joints which not one
mechanic IN thousand could make as
perfect to-day as they were when first
finished. l have always asked and
obtained from two to four shillings-a
day more for my labor than others, no
matter what the wages were. To-day
Ehe union says that Tim Dunn or Mike
Carrigan is as good a workman as [.
Tim Dunn learned his trade shoveling
dirt on railroad, and was never in a
carpenter shop long enough to know
how to shove a jack-plane as he ought |
or drive a nail in straight, yet he wants |
as much paw as |. 1t is these |
Indifferent workers who cause all the |
trouble, the loafers ana poor mechanics. |
For them the union is a blessing, for it |
offers them pay equal to that obtained |
by mechanics, or If they strike it sup |
ports them. Who pays the money for
the strikers though? Such men as /
good workmen. And l tell you, honest |
men who understand their trade will |
kick against it before long"

just arrived from Port-au-Prince with a
cargo of logwood, narrate a terrible
experience which betell them during
the voyage 10 this port Capt. Hall
says that when a two days out num-
Der of centipedes appeared on deck, but
were promptly scalded. On January
% Julian Dominguez, Mexican acting
as cook. found the galley and cabin
swarmed with centipedes and scorpions
which when disturbed by light made
their appearance on deck. The crew,
which was composed principally of
colored men, became terrorized at the
appearance of the poisonous reptiles,
and took to the rigging. So great was
their fear of being bitten that they
refused to leave their high perch when
commanded by the captain to assist
In the work of destroying the dreaded
passengers. The scorpions crawled
over the deck for two days, compelling
the sailors to take to the rail while
manning the vessel. 9
a large Newfoundland dog, which We 9
tied to the Torch atch, was bitten and
died after its body hal swollen to twice
its natural size. Finally the reptiles iii
the galley and cabin were smothered by
the fumes of burning sulphur, lowered
in pans. Those on deck were not
gotten rid of until Wednesday last,
when northeast gale and heavy seas
were encountered. The sudden change
in the temperature killed many of them
and the others were so benumbed
that they were swept overheard without
much difficulty. The logwood was in a
decayed condition, and the scorpions
and centipedes took refuge in the holes
before it was loaded on the vessel
